The streets of Seattle have lately been protected at night by a masked crusader by the name of Phoenix Jones. The most public of Seattle’s vigilante crime stoppers, Jones is notorious for breaking up brawls on the street with the use of pepper spray. On his Facebook page, Jones claims he wouldn’t “ever assault or hurt another person if they were not causing harm to another human being,â€? yet a video posted after his arrest Oct. 9 shows Jones pepper spraying a group of SHRSOH WKDW ZHUH QRW FOHDUO\ ÂżJKWLQJ UHSRUWHGO\ VSUD\LQJ RQH ZRPDQ LQ WKH H\HV Local authorities discourage the behavior of Phoenix Jones, encouraging him to call 911 instead of taking matters into his own hands.

Students protest Progress Energy

Pet policy My big fat gay column Marijuana petition Arabic minor Israel a spoiled child? American Jewish voters

Äž ĆēĉĎ ĔČĊėĘ Contributing  Writer Protesters, including Eckerd College students, recently gathered outside Progress Energy Headquarters in downtown St. Petersburg criticizing the company’s attempt to receive funds that they claim will go toward the construction of two nuclear reactors in Levy County. Tampa local, Christine Ball, organized the protest that included protesters from the Coalition Against Nukes and the FL YES Coalition. Students from the environmental clubs of University of South Florida, Florida International University in Miami, and Florida Atlantic University also joined Eckerd students. So, what do protesters have against Progress Energy’s support of nuclear reactors? For Eckerd students, the argument is that Progress Energy is the energy provider for their college, so funding these projects that IRUFH D KLNH LQ HQHUJ\ FRVWV LV DQ HÉąHFW WKH\ don’t feel they should have to pay. The college LQFUHDVHG WXLWLRQ E\ QHDUO\ IJ WKLV SDVW year in part because of increasing energy costs. Even if the reactors are eventually built, Progress Energy has set the projected operation date to be between 2021 and ZKLFK LV D \HDU GHOD\ IURP SUHYLRXVO\ announced operation dates. Protesters are concerned that even if Progress Energy collects funds for nuclear projects, there’s no guarantee the funds will be used for the reactors. This concern stems from the fact that in order to receive these funds, Progress must only show the intent to build reactors, and at a recent public hearing held in August, a Progress Energy representative FRQÂżUPHG WKDW WKH FRPSDQ\ KDG \HW WR

Health Center concerns students Äž ĊėĆđĞē ĆėđĎēČ Viewpoints  Editor

A health center should be a safe place, right? Let’s face it, when we’re sick, we don’t want to have to deal with much more. Doctors and medical personnel should be well trained, experienced, and able to exhibit at least a slight bit of bedside manner or empathy. Au contraire. At least when it comes to the Eckerd College Health Center. As students, most of us focus on doing schoolwork and going to class. That’s our job here. Getting sick means falling behind on assignments, which means we need health care as soon as possible.
